Our father was a union man some day i'll be one
too.

The bosses fired daddy what's our family gonna
do?

Come all you good workers good news to you

I'll tell of how the good old union has come in
here to dewll.

Chorus:

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

My daddy was miner and I'm a miner's son

and I'll stick with the union 'til every battles
done.

They say in Marlan County there are no neutrals
there

you'll either be a union man or a thug for J.H.
Blair

Oh workers can you stand it?

Oh tell me how you can will you be a lousy scab
or will you be a man?

Don't scab for the bosses don't listen to their
lies

us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we
organize.
